I feel like I should be able to cope with multiple immediate, attention-demanding responsibilities with grace and suavity, instead of my usual descent into gibbering and shrieking. I mean, I usually get it all sorted, which certainly counts for something; but it shouldn't be at the cost of my coherence & civility.

This is, of course, one of those things which appears really clear-cut and easily attainable when you're thinking about it after the fact.

Hee hee!

WAITER: Sir, I am afraid we are out of the Filet Mignon this evening. May I interest you in the Aged Prime Rib? It is excellent, and has won many awards from Steak Magazine.

ME: BIBBLE! BIBBLE BIBBLE! BUGGY BUGGY BUGGY BUGGY BUGGY! EEEEEEEEK! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

WAITER: Sir, please calm down, it's--

ME: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! AIAIAIAIAIAI!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

WAITER: I'm sorry sir! I'm so sorry! We'll get you a filet mignon right away if you'll just calm down!

ME: Thank you.
